Abstract :
In this paper, a novel lane change model is introduced. By combining this model with intellegent driver model proposed by Treiber and Helbing a simulation model for describing the traffic flow behavior in the merging sections in highways is proposed. By numerical simulation experiments, this model is shown to be able to reproduce typical traffic behavior patterns in the highway.
